Using Autodesk Maya, I created a 3D model based on an original character design I had previously hand drawn. I then rigged the model using Advanced Skeleton and created an animation of the character by referencing the dance choreography of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" music video.

This animation is my interpretation of the poem "The Brain Is Wider Than The Sky" by Emily Dickinson. The art style is intended to mimic a child's sketches of the poem's imagery. 

This stop-motion animation was created by taking pictures of construction paper cutouts that were moved by hand, and then compiling the images into a video sequence. 

This animation is a Public Service Announcement with tongue-in-cheek narration created to encourage teenagers to read books regularly.
